Research Activities

"TXDOT native plants" (On-Going) The purpose of this research is to identify potential native plants to be used by TXDOT on road right of ways and other prairie restoration projects. Selected plants will go through a series of rigorous tests to determine if they will meet our needs. Once a final species list is established, we will provide starter seed to commercial seed producers to make the seed available statewide.
